There's no way I could watch them while still keeping up with all of the shows I watch throughout the television season. I'm already in a position where I'll probably have to give up on watching a couple cause I'll be too busy with work.

I thought he was getting attached to her, but I didn't think he would go that far. Why did he need to choose a motherly figure for a companion when he doesn't even have custody of his kids?

Cause he can't father them well enough when he's got them around. Also, it's a coping device for the lack of stability his life has had since losing Betty. He's attracted to the idea of a wife and someone who takes care of him, but when he's actually got it, he is self-destructive.

One of the most important lines with this relationship is when she talks about how she knows who he is now and how the past doesn't matter. Compare that to the doctor who knew about his past to an extent that would make him uncomfortable and Don's choice is obvious from his perspective.

I think initially doctor faye challenged him intellectually in ways that he found intriguing but ultimately, Don needs to keep his secrets safe and maintain everyone at arms length. I think Megan has what Don believes he needs: a level of intellectual capacity to keep him from getting bored, the ability to help him with his kids (whatever he said to faye, that is something that is crucial to him), a lack of curiosity in his secrets, and obviously she is hot.

This really is what is best about Madmen that characters behave in ways that are surprising and complicated but also fit in with their character.

I'm in the process of rewatching the entire series. I'm halfway through Season 2 right now.

I'm not going too fast, I don't want there to be a huge gap between the time I finish the series and the time the new season starts. It's soooo hard though. I've already gone through the show once, but it's like crack.
